Why these cities are food hubs
The Michelin Guide says that Singapore and Bangkok stand out because they are so different from each other. Singapore is proud of its harmonious mix of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Western influences. Bangkok, on the other hand, lives on Thai street food that has been elevated to fine dining standards. People who visit both cities have the rare chance to eat at restaurants with white tablecloths and hawker centres that serve food of the highest quality.
